As S&P Goes Red For The Year, It's About That Time...
As of a minute ago, the S&P has just gone negative for the year. It still needs to drop another 20% to retrace the QE2 rally, at which point Bernanke will launch QE3. He may well launch it before if Friday's NFP is well in negative territory. Incidentally, today we just had another 8 day closing streak, the longest since 2008.
The intraday chart is ridiculous. ES 1250 was just taken out. Next support is in the mid 1100's.
And the ugliest chart of all: when indexed for the loss in dollar purchasing power, the S&P is now down 5% for the year, and back to October level. Perhaps this it the chart that Bernanke will trot out to justify more LSAP?

Tomorrow will be a nice day to short oil:

In the future, all news will be delivered by hot chicks.
We’ve got some very serious breakdowns in European and U.S. equity markets, BUT when looking at the daily charts we’re working on very oversold extremes and currently right on or below (way below on some U.S. indices) the 20:2 lower Bollingers on the provisional weekly charts (with the main exceptions being Japan, Hong Kong, Shanghai and India).
9 times out of 10 these markets would rally from here (even if only to be reaction snapbacks to breakdown levels to get short into), but there’s always that nasty 1 out of 10 to keep in mind. This kind of setup precedes crashes.
Oh, BTW, interesting to see Asia in general holding up relatively well and the U.S. on the lead going down, don’t you think?
Closed on the lows in lots of places. Short term washout and reversal tomorrow? If not, watch out below.
(Previous comments of mine starting here: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/goldman-weekly-chartology-investors-full-r...
).
I went long into the close for similar reasons, stop is pretty tight for a swing trade though considering the size of the falling knife....
Where's my .308?

Ah, the "deer in the headlights". What is that coming towards me? Hmm interesting .. looks harmless, should be ok ........
Damn! That's a painful screen name you have . . .
Fuck it!
Fuck it! Where's my .50 cal.
Where's my man portable flechette firing rail gun?
I was promised a railgun, dammit.

The puzzled, quizzical look just before the beast plunges his incisors into your neck ... the laws of physics and nature apply to all things, and the laws of nature always win.
Funny; I was always told that the eyes were the windows to the soul, not the mirrors.
You can throw all that 'Bollinger' crap out the window along with the rest of your charts.
What you are watching is a stampede caused by fear. If you wanna get run over by the bears just continue to stand in one place gazing at your charts.
I play dead.
Funny ..lol
Come on markets!!!
BURN
TO
THE
GROUND.
This nation needs a colonic and the one thing that will wake up the sheeple is when their cable is turned off and their Facebook page is unavailable because they couldn't pay the ISP bill.
This nation needs an enema and a market meltdown is just the right tonic.
Disclosure: Short everything but PMs. Short America, short Homo Sapiens.
In the future, all news will be delivered by hot chicks.
LOL...the future is now.
You mean like in NAKED NEWS?
Russian topless news
Hey... Rocky that could grow audience share on CNBC. Might give a whole new meaning to Squawk Boxes?
Can't wait to see Mandy drop trou. Bob Pissant Pisani, not so much.
Naked News has been doing it for over a decade.. not sure if they are still around
edit: ah - the racoon was on point first
And don't you forget it. I'm older (probably) and wiser (questionably) than thou.
LOL on shorting oil. Besides, who watches FOX ???
Today McConnell guaranteed that we can short everything. The real and stock market economy is now destroyed.
McConnel got his wish. His goal is to destroy the economy at our expense just to destroy Bambi. Mission Accomplished.
It was fragile to begin with. This was just the icing on the cake. JPM and Pimco downgraded the USA.
We are Japan Now. If you want to invest in a real economy put your money in Russia, Indonesia or Asia.
Their is not one company in America worth investing in. Unless you bet on ZeroHedge.
Unlike FOX, CNBC, or any other noise box TV hoar show, ZH will tell you the truth.
We are Japan Now.
Except without a strong export sector, a high savings rate or a pliable population - it's going to be fun watching all the people holding up KFCs for free chicken....
I like to think of it as liberating those chickens from their oppressors.
The Farce is strong with Bambi!
Yeah, and today was a bad day to stop sniffing glue.
uh huh tomorrow. sure.
douche.
Like Chevy Chase said - "Que the deer."
What's going on, Andy...? You're sinking into a pit of self-pity, defeatism, and alcohol... and you're enjoying it!

Seems like an appropriate day to trot out my favorite in honor of Mr. Deer
I'm sorry...it didn't do too well. Do you have any money invested with this Bernank? No? Please stand aside.
Wow, this country is so screwed!
Looking at Yahoo Current Trends we see:
Ashley Hebert Bachelorette
Miley's Tattoo
Selena's Breakup
Jamie Lynn Spears
Justin Biever's new Tattoo
If the average Obestius Americanus is more concerned with this nonsense, than what is going in this country, they deserve the pain they are going to receive when the whole system collapses! I for one can't wait for the riots and mayhem all around them as they whimper "maybe I shouldn't have paid so much attention on Lindsay lohan and instead prepared for this calamity"
sorry, i've used this one before,but it is so apropos - "what the american people don't know...is what makes them the american people".
After today, I don't know who has the best comment. Clueless +1, Brew +2.
Brew wins on the thought that it is what America's don't know is what makes them American.
It explains much. That's why they can be told how to think. It must be so hard to think for yourself.
I don't know if I should laugh or cry on that thought.
<------- Clueless
<------- Brew
and you know what makes it worse? The parents of the kids are reading that crap too!
It's an epidemic of stupidity, almost like a virus. And the infected don't even know they've got it. "Why, I've never felt better!" the braying victims bellow. They have no idea that this silent, lurking disease could very well be fatal.
Do not confuse the "average American" with Russian Jew billionaire Sergei Brin and his Yahoo homepage. I have such people in my cab everyday, and a goodly number know exactly what's going on and why. What to do about it, they're not so clear....but many are armed and ready.
I don't know what city you are in, but in my city, the people who use taxis are the mostly the "down and out". And among these people, i would say you are correct. They absolutely know what's coming down. It is the people who are "bought in" to the status quo, who are in denial.
And you're right. They don't know what to do....with little if anything to invest in PMs or other preparations. IMHO, it is the churches that will replace government, as the refuge.
The churches are as corrupt as rest of society. Busy taking people's money and telling them what they want to hear with empty pews.
CE... When the Americans get hungry they will get off their butts and scavenge for food. Until then expect nothing.
For QE3 - the next fiasco.
Hopefully the fun begins soon. Bring on the collapse. I am not getting any younger.
+1000 - you're a HAUTE ONE Saucy-Jack
Looks like QE Tres is in the bag, reinflate those 401k temporarily, get those X-mas bonuses ready for the Bansters, and make my PMs's go parabolic. Bring it Ben
Robo is hibernating. The bears are on the prowl.
So whatever happened to the "Green Shoots"?
Eaten by the deer pictured above.
They turned into the peas
First it snowed to much
Then a volcano erupted and covered them with ash
Then there was a heatwave
And suddenly there was this earthshake
Followed by a tsunami
And then the fields got radiated and the soil turned into glass.
So to anwer you question... it's where the sun don't shine.
COMPOST BITCHEZ!!
Gold currently 1663.10. Green shoots currently 0.
They are burning in Texas as we speak.
Texas right now is a preview to hell. I am living it.
Yes sir... in Texas it's sooooo dry we're looking forward to hurricanes. Now ain't that a bitch. Never seen so many hot women.
Texas right now is a preview to hell. I am living it.
They are punji sticks.....Not good
Thank you Tenet Healthcare (THC)!
-21.66% in a month.
They are who we thought I said they were.
Another great Cramer pick. Things that make you go Hmmmmmm. Eh.
YES! Free money anyone?
Liked your "QEWW3" tweet! SPOT ON.
...I believe the bombs will be falling somewhere soon.
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Yes. I figure about $1 trillion of the new debt issuance will go to finance the upcoming Israel-US attack on Iran.
the CIA says it'll be Iran by Israel. Just when BNY says he is prepared to consider 1967 obammy deal for pal state.
Now that sounds potentially like a typical false flag play : promise the moon with your right hand and bomb silently, suddenly, with your lef!
I think the US MIC will love this; just when they preach budget cuts for defense in pipeline!
"Silently"?!...dude CNN and Fox get front row seats and beam the first shot live via satellite.
Keep it up Tyler, the endgame is near, and laughing is often the only remedy.
Deer in headlights! Fantastic
The faster they crash the market, the faster they get that $2t in freshly borrowed money. This isn't a return to sanity. This isn't the end-game. This isn't a surprise. It's a grab for another $2t of your and your children's money. Bring on the crash and Obama will bring on the QE3.
Hmm. For some reason, I always have trouble connecting to ZH on days like this....
...because when people, including TPTB, want the real scoop they come here to ZH,the Shining Star!!
Thanks Sledge.
I thought that Chet meant philosophically...
I'm thinking that before this year is over, Timmay or his successor will get the green light to clear checks without issuing debt (bonds.) That's the only way left to extend this fiatsco.
That moment will be when deflation switches to hyperinflation.
that's when the Shat will really hit the fan!
What ZH right again?
Today is a good day to be right friends. Keep stackin'.
Carthago delenda est.
Classy.
Love Seneca.
Having done hard time in parochial school, I am ashamed to admit that I didn't pay attention in Latin class.
Google translate even does Latin. (for lapsed Catholics and bad boys and girls everywhere)
check out the ES...still falling
...and gold still rising. Up through $1663 now

S&P-500 Weekly Chart Head and Shoulders Neckline ~1270-1275 Broken Today
http://chart.ly/uploads/large_v72gwuy.png
For those who does not know what it means
http://www.chartpatterns.com/headandshoulders.htm
show me a H&S pattern that has completed since march2009....right ...NONE have. remember the biggie that broke up in april 2010..?
T/A doesnt work when there are only 10 people trading...!!!! and they control the market!
you're why it works for the rest of us...chicken bone, chicken bone...lucky, lucky chicken bone...
cult... it don't mean squat now cause what you are witness to is a flight based on fear, not greed.
Those charts might work when a balance exists between fear and greed but when the motivation swings heavily to one or the other, forget it.
ok..didn't want to say it because i hoped to submit a paper but i believe (and i may be wrong) that there exists a price/time function that is mathematically feasible that involves a fourier analytical summation of sinusouidal functions to approximate what (to you) may appear to be completely random price movements...please dont steal my idea...thanks
I have thought about this in the past also. I thought maybe it might work on slow news days. Never did investigate further, it's too cost prohibitive for a nobody such as myself to access granular enough stock market data, let alone execute frequent trades.

Someone has officially shat in the Keynesian powder keg at the Fed.

Sounds like BS. More phantom jobs... They're there until you look at the details. For example, you need 10 years of experience in some obscure skill. That's if this is even real.
I wish!
I have 10+ years in a half a dozen obscure tech skill sets.
They want 10+ years in tech skill sets that didn't exist two years ago!
"They want 10+ years in tech skill sets that didn't exist two years ago!"
HaHa, nice!
and the jobs they want experience in will go away anyways because of automation.
so your telling me I need 10 years experience for systems invented not 2 years ago, but will be obsolete in less than another 2 to 5 years. Right...
I see you both have had career experience in Silicon Valley.
The game here in the Bay Area is to write these job descriptions, then when nobody is "qualified" they get to provide an H1B visa to a lucky person in Mubai, India.
I'm not buying it either.. Looking at this article they talk up the Job scene by sighting 100 or so jobs.. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of layoffs have been announced in the past few weeks.. Give me a break.. I hope the first people eaten by roving bands of disenfranchised poor people are two bit reporters like this one..
fuck you, dumb sheep cunt!
ZH keeps going offline for me =(
NSA ran DDOS?
we are only a 1000 reading it...
900 normal users, and probably 100 reverse proxies servig it out to tens of thousands more.

Its perfectly timed. Timmah can start selling new debt at record low yields. Tip of the cap PPT.

Laszlo "the ruler" Biryini is getting sweaty palms, re-doing his charts, calling all his friends to put pressure on Bernank quick! CMI is sitting on its 200d! Help!
I heard he just purchased a French curve to replace his ruler......
That's, like, a totally great list.
Archimedes is a cool dude.
When Marketwatch first started publishing his blog I read about 2 of his outlandish predictions and I realized Marketwatch publishes him for the hits. Doesnt matter if hes right or wrong, just need to generate hits. Personally, I dont think he beleives what he writes, rather he fills a niche.
Marketwatch: pure Ponzi propaganda.
...fills a niche....
or crack.
that 'haynes bottom' was a bitch ..........for Mark that is....R.I.P old haynes.
Excellent Archimedes! Those cretins have turned turtle... Heads into shells... While saying la la la la la an infinite number of times to drown out the reality that is crashing down on their little fantasy world.
Snidley,
Believe me, even when the FED steps in and "saves the market" with QE3, those douchebags will still have their heads firmly up their asses.
Sadly, they will never get it because they are completely blind, deaf and dumb.
Was Larry "Goldilocks" Kudlow on the list? He's my fav contrary indicator.
btw crude kinda hung in there today given the MSM obsession with correlation between crude and equities (since, as everyone knows, they are an accurate reflection of the global economy) hmmm....
edit...this has nothing to do with the tankers of SPR crude parked just offshore
take note that RJA was up today. agri prices hanging tough....
agreed...i got me some RJA...i hear that guy knows stuff about stuff...
...just bought more silver and made a 'revenue' infusion to the Ron Paul campaign.
It's days like this i feel like i have a 10" cock.
You know the rule.....pics or it doesn't count.
And not all 10 inch cocks are created equal.

DAMMIT Ms... You got there before I did! So take THIS! (My next post)
OMG did you just make me giggle.
The 10 inch cock for all to see:
Damn girls, you are making me feel a lil' frisky.
That's a sweet scuplture of a chicken farting.
that's impressively french and fed on bojolais wine.
Priceless! +1
the symbol " also means seconds... so he says to last 10 seconds in days like these.

Please don't feel slighted. You have a nice cock too!
You must admit: it IS big... Just look at the size of that pecker!
that's a typical hen pecked husband...I refer to the guy. Not the rooster. I think he's bringing it home to impress the wife.
I ain't getting any where near this conversation.
I see you have 2 weeks on me here at ZH. Two years just flies by, eh?
It is amazing how long we have been perched on the edge of our seats, together, waiting for this whole thing to collapse. The time has flown because it has been fun with posters like you around. Peace, Rocks.
